tmu 30d97a9209 ✨ Compile doc code fences into tests
Every `ts`-tagged fence in README.md / CONTRIBUTING.md now becomes an
executed `node:test` case in a gitignored generated file, so a
documented example cannot drift from the API. The generator hoists and
merges the leading imports, rewrites the library specifier to the
`#test-tiny-pattern-ts` alias, and rejects a fence with no describing
paragraph or one that re-imports a prelude module.

CI regenerates via `pretest:ci`; `create:doc-tests` runs the generator,
formats, then typechecks the output against a scoped tsconfig that
relaxes `noUnusedLocals`. c8's default excludes already omit the
generated `*.test.ts`, so `test:ci` is unchanged.

/**
* Compile the TypeScript examples embedded in the prose docs into runnable
* tests, so a doc fence that drifts from the API fails CI. Every ```ts fence in
* the scanned Markdown becomes a `test(...)` in a generated
* `src/doc-test/__generated__/<Name>.test.ts`; the file is typechecked by
* `tsc` and executed by `node --test` exactly like a hand-written test.
*
* Usage: node --strip-types scripts/create-doc-tests.ts
*
* Why regenerate-then-typecheck instead of a lint plugin: development/docs.md §
* Validating Markdown code fences. The repo is TypeScript 7 (the native
* compiler), which does not expose the legacy JS compiler API, so the only
* faithful check is to emit real `.ts` files and let the existing `check:tsc` /
* `node --test` pipeline judge them.
